More for your money at The Observatory

A stylish new house in a vibrant new village community within easy reach of a thriving town must constitute a dream home for most. And sometimes it pays to move to a new community rather than simply following the crowd. The Observatory, Bellway’s new development within Oakley Vale, is a case in point.

Situated less than around 35 miles from Milton Keynes, this new community on the edge of Corby represents superb value for money. And with Bellway’s special 75%/25% shared ownership offer, you could be looking at a home there for nearly half the price you would pay for an equivalent-sized home in Milton Keynes.

The Observatory, offers a wide choice of two-, three-, four- and five-bedroom homes to suit all budgets and with its attractive lakeside setting combined with convenient location and great value-for-money, viewing homes there is a must for would-be home-buyers. Prices for the 75%/25% offer mean that you could buy a home for as little as£111,000 compared with similar (full priced) homes in Milton Keynes that will set you back between £190,000 and £200,000. And the even better news is that some homes at Oakley Vale come in under the stamp duty threshold for the area.

Oakley Vale’s superb value for money doesn’t stop with smaller homes. For the price of a, three bedroom semi-detached home in Milton Keynes, your money will buy you a four bedroom detached home at Bellway’s The Observatory; and for the price of an apartment in Milton Keynes, at The Observatory you will be able to buy a three bedroom terraced house.

Oakley Vale is fast becoming the new property hotspot as in December 2008 a new intercity rail link will be re-established in Corby making Oakley Vale even more accessible. A primary school is due to open for Oakley Vale children in September this year also.

Located in the Northamptonshire countryside of Rockingham Forest, the development has excellent road links via the A14 to the M1, M6 and A1 making commuting to the major cities easy. Until the local station opens, commuters to London can choose from Kettering Station, just 6 miles away, for a regular train service London Euston Station, or equally frequent from Northampton Station to Euston Station and St Pancras Station.

Oakley Vale has an abundance of open green spaces and a manmade lake with an attractive water cascade but it is convenient too as, adjacent to the development, is a large supermarket and the new village contains a new parade of shops, a pub and restaurant. September, will also see the opening of the first primary school in the new village.

Bellway Northern Home Counties Sales Director, Chris Edginton, said: “Corby is only an hour away, by train, from London, and Northamptonshire provides superior choice for businesses, visitors and residents alike. The area is surrounded by beautiful countryside, a rich tradition and heritage and charming stone villages.
